Easy win. Belle Vue outclassed. Different next Monday but the boys showed good fight in testing conditions.

Nice easy 56-34 away win tonight. Would have been even more had we used Holder and Kurtz in heat 15. Lets hope the track is better prepared tomorrow and we have a decent victory.

Funny the way you are trying to play down Wolves chances by heaping false praise on Swindon. I stick to what I say. Swindon are a 5 man team who need all firing to do well. That isn’t going to happen away very often and tonight was a perfect example. Lynn were there forthe taking but Swindon couldn’t do it. Even with r/r for the Pole and Lambert in at reserve for Lynn. Not trolling just calling it as I see it.

Again proves my point about Swindon. Over rated. No reserves and their top 5 will not all click together. Musiliak and Ellis awol tonight. Teams with scoring reserves will do better.

Poole have won away this season. Deary me!

And Wells has ridden at Poole numerous times.

Like I said I believe you are putting far too much emphasis on the Swindon result at Poole. Yes the Swindon riders always go well at our place and deserved their win but one team was completely disinterested due to conditions. Swindon gated and it was race over. I don’t believe Swindon will win the league if they keep the two current reserves. Neither are good enough in the top flight. It’s an opinion, nothing more. If Swindon get in a reserve who can score then that situation might change.

Think you are reading far too much in the Poole v Swindon meeting. And don’t forget they had guest reserves for that one who score 5 more than Swindon’s own reserves would have scored.

Don’t see it. We drew with them at Blunsdon, and they were easily beaten at Ipswich, a team most have written off. Unless Swindon get in a good reserve they won’t be champions. They might have a good top 5, but how often will they all click together? What will happen when they go to Monmore and Lampart goes completely AWOL?

Doyle admitted afterwards he knocked Covatti off.

Hopefully we can get it with subtitles.

A blip due to the track. Last year we were poor at home early in the season but look what happened there. Poole will be there come playoffs. Happy to have a £100 on it with anyone.

A decent meeting but the result was never in doubt. Robert Lambert completely went awol. 

So have Poole. A win, a draw and a 2 point defeat. Better record than anyone else.

Agree. Swindon’s top 5 is strong but they all need to click all the time, otherwise it’s a struggle. Poole proved that with the draw at Blunsdon and looking the better team all night. Swindon’s reserves were completely tailed off against Covatti and Jakobsen. Last night it was the same at Ipswich and Swindon’s reserves again failed to beat an opponent, other than what was gifted. The Robins will struggle without changes and won’t win the league with this lineup.

No excuse. A crap performance.

8 points from your reserves? No chance. Swindon’s problems were laid bare last night. Ipswich don’t have anywhere near the same top end strength but we’re never troubled. Reserves win meetings as Allen proved last night.

Are crowd sizes up from last season?

That would be the logical answer but all turnstiles are open at Poole and have queues. There would need to be a separate entry gate and there isn’t one!

Better version of Rubin V Łódź.

And yet Poole keep winning title after title after title. Go figure.

Riders didn’t want the track watered once racing had started. Riders should realise fans pay their wages so fans come first. Watering with bowsers happens every few heats in Poland. Riders don’t seem to have hissy fits over there about it. Promotion should tell the riders bowser will go out every 4 heats so get used it it.
